French Open Shock: Sinner Blows Two-Set Lead in Stunning Upset
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner suffered a dramatic defeat in his second-round match at Roland Garros after squandering a two-set lead against unseeded Juan Manuel Cerúndolo. Leading 6-3, 6-2, 5-1, the Italian appeared certain to advance. Stricken by dehydration and cramps under the sweltering Paris sun, Sinner lost 19 of the final 21 games. A medical timeout failed to reverse the slide as Cerúndolo stormed back to win 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 in one of the tournament’s biggest upsets. The loss ended Sinner’s 30-match winning streak and propels the 24-year-old Argentinian into the third round, leaving the men’s draw wide open.
